Business Administration, Management and Operations at Brewton-Parker College

Drawing from Georgia's business bachelor's programs, Brewton-Parker's graduates likely earn around $44,392 in their first year—squarely at the state median but well below what larger schools like UGA ($56,630) or Georgia Tech ($73,557) report. The estimated $26,125 in debt falls close to both state and national norms, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.59 that suggests manageable repayment for most graduates. However, nearly half of Brewton-Parker's students receive Pell grants, meaning those from lower-income families could face tighter financial margins even with this moderate debt load.

The gap between Brewton-Parker's likely outcomes and Georgia's top performers reveals something important: credential alone doesn't determine earnings. Location, alumni networks, and employer recruiting patterns play major roles in business fields. Smaller private schools in rural Georgia typically connect graduates to different job markets than urban universities with corporate ties. If your child needs to stay regional or values a close-knit learning environment, peer programs suggest the economics work—but if maximizing early earnings matters most, the state's public universities deliver substantially higher returns at similar or lower debt levels. The estimation here reflects a common challenge at smaller schools where graduate cohorts are too small for the Department of Education to publish actual data.
